What a mess

Was absolutely awful. Filed my paperwork the day of court and almost forgot to so it then also, ran if up to the cleek when we sat outside the courtroom then when asked by the judge about it lied and said "my client filled out the paperwork wrong. Like what?!? Resulted ib my recieving $0 for support... and I practically had to demand she enter a request for a hearing to recieve it after months of her putting it off telling me that would be disscussed during your divorce. I gave her two retainers and had to tell that she did not work for the other party. As my retainer dwindled down the second time and her making my situation worse than when we started I told her I would be ending our client/Attorney agreement because I could no longer afford it a few days later she requested I come in to sign an end of contract agreement and whwn I did I asked what I owed thinking it would be $100-200 since I stopped service as soon as it was going to run out but instead was given a bill the size of a phone book for $5000. I honestly feel she worked with the opposing attorney because she did such an awful job. I would strongly advise against hiring her. She failed me and my children in every way possible. The other reviewer summed it up perfectly an absolute Joke.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
